Be it known that 1, Isaac L.

2', 2, are staples to fasten the lid to the tub.

c is the shaft which revolves in the tub on pivot h, Fig. 2, and to which dasher-s f, f, Figs. 1, and 2-, are attached. The dashers are perforated with holes as represented in figures.

g, g, are the breakers perforated as the dashers, and connected by the arms is, 72, through which the shaft 0 passes. The breakers are held stationary by pins Z, Z, Fig. 2, entering holes in the bottom of the tub.

Z), Fig. 3, represents the edge. of the dasher with the spring '2', on' the side near the outer edge. The breakers g, 9, may be elevated so as to raise the pins Z, Z, out of the holes. Fig. 2, the bottom end of the dashers entering the slots j, j, and the springs 2', 2', pressing against the side of the slots secures them to the dashers by friction. The breakers and What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is The combination of the movable or rotat ing dashes f, f, with the breakers g, 9, constructed and operated as above described, so

that said breakers may remain stationary,

while churning and revolving with the dashers to collect the butter substantially as herein described.
